I bought my brother a Dwarves shirt with a skull and crossbones and the crossbones are actually somewhat subtle giant cocks. He didn't realize it and wore it to a Red Sox game the next day...he realized it half way through the game and of course was sitting in a section sorrounded by a bunch of kids. It was pretty funny, he kinda felt like a dirtbag. I bought it last minute for his birthday and neither of us picked up on it.
